Chapter 513: Troubles (2nd Update)
On second thought, though. Only excellent men will be snatched. Since Zhu Junyang restrained his inner demons, his popularity and charm have surged. Especially in the past two years, the emperor entrusted him with important tasks, and handed over the Xishan camp to him for training and management, as well as the firearms battalion, and he almost handed over to the head of Su, and the position of the commander in the future also belongs to him.
At the age of twenty, with his own strength, he has three official residences, and his extraordinary ability will definitely be limitless in the future. Zhu Junyang has become the representative of the golden bachelor and the fifth diamond king in Beijing, and how many people have asked Princess Jing to find out where the princess of Yangjun belongs.
Recently, Princess Jing, who loves purity, has been annoyed! It stands to reason that the son is twenty years old, and it is indeed time to marry a wife and have children, even if the candidate for the main concubine has not yet been determined, the location of the side concubine and the concubine has long been eyed.
Suddenly, there were more guests in the inner courtyard of King Jing's mansion, and they were all candidates to find out about her daughter-in-law. Listening to her, King Yangjun already has a favorite girl, and they all turned to inquire about her wishes about the side concubine. When these ladies came, they always brought little girls with flowers and branches, and they praised their daughters as a flower. The little girl was also very attentive, and she held Princess Jing for everything. Tired to hear!
What especially annoyed Princess Jing was her sister-in-law, when she was in the boudoir before, the relationship was not very good. As the daughter of a favorite concubine, she has been showing off her power in front of her by relying on herself to be favored in front of her father. If it weren't for the fact that she and King Jing were in love with each other and stronger than Jin, maybe she would have been successfully designed by this sister-in-law, and the marriage would have been robbed!
Now, I feel that her sister-in-law has value to use, and she is cheeky again. She Jiang Meijuan holds a grudge! Brother-in-law's errand, she didn't let the prince interfere, and received an idle job in Beijing Wupin. Hum! She didn't fall into the well, and she was already broad-minded!!
She, a sister-in-law, even wants to plot her youngest son's marriage! Dream of her big head!! Although Ling'er is a girl, her appearance, temperament, and character (?) It's all superb, and she likes it when she looks at it. But just because this girl has an old lady who does everything, she won't agree to this family business!!
However, looking at Yang'er's attitude towards his little cousin, he is not as repulsive as other ladies, at least he can say a few words when they meet. Belch...... Actually, most of the time, it was Ling'er's girl who was talking and Yang'er was listening. Judging from the expression, although it is serious, there is not too much rejection. This shows that in his son's heart, this little cousin is still different.
However, Princess Jing is not in a hurry at all! Not to mention that there is already someone in her son's heart, but no, with her understanding of her son, Yang'er may not be able to take a fancy to Wu Junling's girl. From the fact that he received an errand from the Xishan camp, the days when he went home were irregular, and every time he took a detour to go on a date with Xiaocao Girl before coming back, it was enough to see that his son had no thoughts about Ling'er.
Ling'er's girl is as thick-skinned as her mother. Yang'er had already hinted at it obviously, as if she couldn't understand or understand, pretending to be stupid and sweet to show anyone? At the beginning, her sister-in-law used this trick to get close to the prince!!
No way! She had to take the time to give her son a wake-up call, lest her sister-in-law give Wu Junling's girl any bad tricks and force her son to marry her!!
Princess Jing was annoyed by Jiang Meiyun's mother and daughter, so she took advantage of King Jing's errand to go out to work, and her son was in the Xishan camp for 28 days a month, so that the maids and daughters-in-law packed up and quietly left the capital, and went straight to the Xishan Courtyard in Dongshan Village.
In the middle of summer, the courtyard is surrounded by green trees, with the mountains and the sea at its back, making it a good summer resort. She is also thinking about the famous flowers in the mysterious valley, and wants to add a few treasures to her flower room that can calm people!
Therefore, when Jiang Meiyun's mother and daughter visited again, they didn't even enter the door. The subordinates of King Jing's Mansion replied: "The princess and the princess went out for the summer, and the masters were not at home, so they would not entertain the two distinguished guests!" ”
Jiang Meiyun was so angry that she almost didn't tear the veil apart: "Okay, you Jiang Meijuan!" Shame on the face! If it weren't for my precious daughter, who would be rushing to hold you? I really think I'm a dish!! ”
"Mother, be careful!!" Wu Junling lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked out, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, her mother is really more than successful. obviously begged his aunt for something, but he always held a shelf, and he looked like he refused to bow his head.
I don't want to think about it, what is the comparison between her and her aunt? When she is in the boudoir, a concubine, a concubine, and a person with brains will also choose to befriend her sister-in-law, rather than trying to trample people down by relying on her favor. also tried in vain to rob other people's husbands. If she were King Jing, she would also choose a gentle and generous concubine instead of a competitive concubine, okay?
There is also a father's errand, but if the mother lowers her status a little and begs her aunt, she will not enter the current Qingshui Yamen and receive an errand. There is also her own business, if there is no mother involved, maybe my aunt will look down on herself...... Alas, it seems that her affairs with her cousin will have to be a lot of trouble, she will definitely not be like a brainless mother, and her cousin will eventually belong to her!
Wu Junling turned her gaze to the outside of the carriage, and through the window, she saw a petite figure dressed in an apricot yellow flag suit and riding a red horse, slowly passing in front of her carriage. Suddenly, a simple voice in the crowd sounded: "Lord Yu, thank you for planting high-yield corn, our family's three acres of land to feed more than a dozen people, in the spring, we planted corn, harvested more than 4,000 catties of grain, went out to hand over the public grain, and more than 3,000 catties of surplus grain." That's enough for our family to eat for a whole year! Thank you for making us no longer hungry! ”
Last year, corn seeds were sold to farmers in the suburbs of Beijing, and this spring, many families can't wait to plant corn, and the harvest is more than 1,000 catties, and every family has a surplus of grain.
There are many people in the suburbs of Beijing on the side of the street, and they have echoed the words:
"Yes, yes! The family has surplus food and is not panicking, thanks to Lord Yu! ”
"Lord Yu's merits are comparable to those of a living bodhisattva who saves suffering!!"
"Lord Yu, this is the egg laid by our chickens, don't dislike it, I thank you on behalf of the whole family!!"
"Lord Yu, this is the apricot in our yard, please take it and taste it."
"This is the vegetable we grow......"
Someone interrupted him: "The vegetables grown by Lord Yu look and taste much better than yours, and the rich and officials in Beijing eat the vegetables she grows." Why do you need to send it? ”
"I don't want to thank Master Yu and express my heart!"
A voice as clear as a clear stream suddenly quieted down the noisy atmosphere: "Folks, I understand your heart!" Cultivating high-yield crops is my duty, everyone's thanks and praise, I am really ashamed of the grass! With your support, I will continue to work hard to grow more high-yield crops! ”
As soon as the words fell, the voices of thanks, admiration, and discussions were endless. Among the many voices, a young voice stood out in particular: "Lord Yu, I heard that last year's winter wheat harvest was bumper, and the yield was nearly three times higher than that of ordinary wheat. I wonder if this autumn, the high-yield winter wheat will be sold to ordinary people? ”
Yu Xiaocao looked at the patch, a young man dressed as a typical poor peasant, smiled slightly, and said: "Winter wheat seeds will naturally be sold to the people in the suburbs of Beijing." However, if the seeds were bought from the yamen, the wheat harvested in the next spring would be purchased by the imperial court. It can only be sold to the imperial court, and it is not allowed to be bought and sold privately. The price is according to one pound and ten cents. In case of violation, the seeds of various high-yield crops will not be sold to him or his entire village! ”
In other words, the system of joint sitting is adopted. If a family in a village wants to sell high-yielding winter wheat seeds at a high price for personal gain, then the village is blacklisted. In this way, every family is watched by the villagers of the whole village, and it is even more difficult to do things under their noses!
Actually, this condition is not harsh. The output of one mu of winter wheat is six or seven hundred catties, and ten wen and one catty are sold, and one mu of land can earn six or seven taels of silver. An adult man who has been doing odd jobs outside for a long time may not be able to earn so much silver in a year!
The wheat seeds harvested this spring will supply 100,000 mu of farmland in addition to the 100,000 mu of land on the newly established joint farm. The villages near the outskirts of Beijing have welfare! The people listened to it and spread the word of mouth, and the news soon spread throughout the suburbs of Beijing.
"Ling'er, what are you looking at? So focused? Jiang Meiyun glanced outside, only to see the back of a girl riding a red horse.
"Mother, Yu Xiaocao, have you heard of it?" Wu Junling's face was gloomy, the handkerchief in his hand was clenched tightly, and his bright big eyes were clouded.
Jiang Meiyun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Yu Xiaocao? Strange to the name? Why did you mention her all of a sudden? What's the purpose? ”
Wu Junling saw the slender back disappearing into the street, so he lowered the car curtain, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Mother, you haven't heard of Yu Xiaocao, the only female adult in the court, have you heard of it?" ”
"Oh...... You mean that with a little farming ability, the emperor valued it and became a six-grade petty official who managed farmland in the household department, right? Alas! I don't know what the emperor thinks, a country girl who farms is actually an official? Jiang Meiyun thought that her husband had been working hard outside for more than ten years, and when she returned to Beijing, she just got a five-grade idle job. A small peasant girl who is underage, but she is only two levels lower than her husband. Why?
Wu Junling glanced at his mother helplessly, and said with a little pleading: "Mother, we are not in that small place in Huai'an, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Can you talk with a little brain? The emperor's meaning, that is the holy will, how can it be that you and I are complaining? Please, I can't help my father and daughter, and don't cause trouble for us, okay? ”
